Both the count and Baptistin had told the truth when they announced to Morcerf the proposed visit of the major which had served Monte Cristo as a pretext for declining Albert s invitation. Seven o clock had just struck and M. Bertuccio according to the command which had been given him had two hours before left for Auteuil when a cab stopped at the door and after depositing its occupant at the gate immediately hurried away as if ashamed of its employment. The visitor was about fifty-two years of age dressed in one of the green surtouts ornamented with black frogs which have so long maintained their popularity all over Europe. He wore trousers of blue cloth boots tolerably clean but not of the brightest polish and a little too thick in the soles buckskin gloves a hat somewhat resembling in shape those usually worn by the gendarmes and a black cravat striped with white which if the proprietor had not worn it of his own free will might have passed for a halter so much did it resemble one. Such was the picturesque costume of the person who rang at the gate and demanded if it was not at No. 30 in the Avenue des Champs-Elysees that the Count of Monte Cristo lived and who being answered by the porter in the affirmative entered closed the gate after him and began to ascend the steps. The small and angular head of this man his white hair and thick gray mustaches caused him to be easily recognized by Baptistin who had received an exact description of the expected visitor and who was awaiting him in the hall. Therefore scarcely had the stranger time to pronounce his name before the count was apprised of his arrival. He was ushered into a simple and elegant drawing-room and the count rose to meet him with a smiling air. Ah my dear sir you are most welcome I was expecting you. Indeed said the Italian was your excellency then aware of my visit Yes I had been told that I should see you to-day at seven o clock.
